What does AHU-FC06 mean?

The fraction of outside air being introduced doesn't match what the operating state calls for.

Why does it matter?

Either under-ventilating (IAQ concern) or over-ventilating (energy waste). Both have measurable impact.

What should you do?

Verify OA damper response to commands. Check whether damper command is being clamped by a high/low limit. Inspect blade leakage.

This is a diagnostic rule: Energy Agent surfaces and ranks it as a reliability problem and claims no dollar savings for it, by design.
